Thank you for you hard work Links, ya did well. I hope the community somehow stays unapologetically leftist.

The smaller the community the bigger the drama 🔥🔥🔥

    We really don’t need more liberal apologia, IMO LibertyHub was and should be a respite from all that. Can we please not let it be overrun by class collaborationism, revisionism and bourgeoisie pseudo-theory? If our goal is to create a proletariat strong enough to throw off the chains of our oppression and move towards socialism, we need to not platform liberal ideology that reinforces the status quo of capitalism.

    Down in flames entirely, or Liberalism Hub now? Hopefully somecritter remakes the real one, or at least puts in a proper effort. Also hopefully I get a link to it ;3

      Honestly considering it, but unfortunately I don’t have the time to mod a community on Lemmy.

      If anyone sees this and wants to, I have the OG sidebar saved.

      Edit: If anyone does, I’m open to helping to moderate it but I can’t take the lead on this one.

        Idk if I qualify for setting up a new community like LibertyHub.

        I was mostly a lurker here, but enjoyed the break in comparison to the lib BS that (unfortunately) quite a large chunk of blahaj.zone is spewing

        There is a batch of communities I’ve set up over on my home instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com) and I would love to add an explicitly queer/trans one. But I must admit that I have been procrastinating on setting up a proper mod team, even when growth was large. I do enforce the community rules from time to time, but don’t have the time for doing it properly. Thx to my instance admins who handle the more major reports quite swiftly.
        (though I would like to get more proactive and set up a proper mod team. I already arranged a Matrix space, now I only need to open up applications and set up a vetting process)

        If you feel like we’d fit, feel free to reach out on Matrix (is linked on my profile) or message me over Lemmy

          Oh yeah, sure thing! I’m not on matrix but I’ll get onto it soon, expect to hear from me in a day or two :)

    So I disagree with non-voting and encouraging others to, so I’ve removed this sub from my feed a while ago (until I heard about this drama).

    But I’ve had a debate with Links in a comment section before and it ended amicably. We reached some understanding over the issue and the feelings of hopelessness. While we didn’t change each other’s mind it was one of the few disagreements I had online that ended positively.

    Also as a trans woman, typos happens! If someone has a track record supporting trans people some benefit of the doubt should be given first.

      When the typo is a matter of capitalization, and the skepticism over whether or not that’s a reasonable expectation gets construed into being full-blown transphobia, I can’t help but feel like things have gotten a bit out of hand.

      Just reading through the threads (you can find them on the Blahaj Lemmy Meta sub) has been quite disheartening and I feel like a lot of language of inclusion is being weaponized and limit tested in a very harmful way.

      I had my issues with LOC and LibertyHub but we also came to a mutual understanding in DMs and, while we still disagreed, I found myself in a position where I actually understood the point of the sub (regardless of whether or not I thought it was a good addition to the instance) and was able to make my peace with it.

      I really wish him stepping down were under less egregious circumstances but honestly, were I in a similar situation I’d probably find myself doing the same thing. Even having been a complete fly on the wall third party, I feel like the debacle has been a cognitohazard. I’m racking my head on a few concepts I thought I had worked out pretty well. I’m not sure if it’s some level of reactionary gut sentiment welling up from within or just over how much the whole situation feels like a form of Crybullying. Maybe it’s both.

    Good to see that the tradition to censor everyone who disagrees with the mods here is going strong even with Links gone 💯💯💯
